>>5325269With Sonic, it's pretty clear cut who will be the normal releases:
>Sonic>Tails>Knuckles>Metal Sonic>ShadowBecause they would all break the bank. Classic Sonic, Super Classic Sonic, Super Sonic, and Super Shadow may also be contenders. Everyone else though for sure will be an exclusive release with a general western release if allowable. However, provided they are allowed to release in the west, we could easily get everybody in this image in time because they seem to be the general main cast (as much as Sonic can get to one these days) of Sonic now.
Except Big. Switch Big out with Metal Sonic.
On an additional note, I would like to see Playset releases like with Mario. Item Boxes/TVs, Rings, Chaos Emeralds, Goal Posts/Rings. What I DON'T like to see carry over from Mario is limited articulation and dated scaling of characters to mimic just the 2D games. That was an awful decision, and I don't care if that means I have to pay more.
Also if and when Shadow comes out, I expect an event when Bandai mimics the SA2 Title Sequence of the two jumping in front of the moon because they know that will tickles the fans' balls.
